GUIDE: Specifics of Modding Alexander - TW

**Smeel** · 05-20-2008, 20:36

Warcry from Bi works in Alexander. Strange, huh?

Woulda been awesome if the other attributes and formations would work too

**beatoangelico** · 05-21-2008, 01:30

warcry was already in RTW 1.0

Anyone tried to get it to work with -mod:BI? I can enter campaign but not the custom battle (kicked back to faction selection menu)

I don't own BI so I can't test it, but you could test:

1- coping the file chat_filter.san from your Alexander/data folder into your the BI\data folder

2- adding "-mod:bi -noalexander" to your shortcut

3- Editing the file descr_strat.txt of BI campaign by adding the line "options bi" at the start of Campaign section (at the top of the file.). It should look like this:

Code:

campaign ...
options bi
playable ...

4- Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/bi/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt''
Open the file and add the Immortal description at the end of trait section:

;------------------------------------------
Trait Immortal
Characters family
Hidden

Level Immortal
Description Immortal_desc
EffectsDescription Immortal_effects_desc
Threshold 1

Go - ''Rome - Total War folder/eb/data/export_descr_VnVs_enums.txt''
Open the file and add the specified enums at the far end of the txt file! That should look like this:

Code:

Immortal
Immortal_desc
Immortal_effects_desc

I'm not sure, but I guess this could be enough.

EDIT: It seems ATW.exe does not support several features of BI like hordes, swiming, schiltrom/shield_wall, so the above will probably not work...

Barbarossa, did you ever get your provincial campaign map to load? I'm have a rough time getting a map from RTW loading into Alex.

Has anyone checked yet if the revolt CTD still occurs under Alex.exe and if the solutions found in

work?

I can go test but thought I'd see if anyone else had tried first

**Dol Guldur** · 01-23-2009, 11:59

I assumed Alex would be the same as RTW and BI. I've thus not tested anything. Never had any problems with revolt CTDs for a long time now, in fatw or any other mod I've done since (including GaFm for Alex.).

Why do you put -noalexander in your path to your mod folder? Does this stop the Alex.exe from loading the Alexander campaign files or is this part of your mod folder name?
